APN Settings?

I got a Skyrocket this morning, however I did not opt for a new sim because I am in a non-LTE area. But I later realized that although I can make calls, I cannot receive calls, texting does work but data does not and I have no MMS. I set up a new APN using the same settings I had used on my Infuse 4G and now everything works except for MMS. Although I changed the apn I was not able to delete the stock apn that didn't work. Any ideas?
Here are the apn settings I used: wap.cingular, username: [email protected], password: CINGULAR1, MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com, MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.32, APN type: internet + MMS.

Oh that is very cool to hear, I may end up having to do that. I kept my sim however because it is a microsim and I like to switch back and forth between my Androids and an iPhone using an adapter.

Oh my bad, I didn't see that you're in a non-LTE area. Did you try the "phone" APN used for HSPA+ connections?
Also, APN should not have any effect on your ability to make or receive calls

You're right, the inability to receive calls was just a fluke. "Phone" worked for data but not MMS.
These settings made everything work in case anyone else needs them:
Name: Cingular 410
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: <Not set>
Port: <Not set>
Username: [email protected]

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
Authentication type: <Not set>
APN type: <Not set>
I guess this means that my data speeds are not going to be as high as they could be, but this does enable me to keep my microsim and switch back and forth with an iPhone.

Oh you didn't have the "4G HSPA+" provision on your account?

I guess not, I will call now and see if I can get that switched over. I would have thought they would have done that back when I bought the Infuse 4G, but apparently although the signal said 4G, I wasn't getting the speed.

I didnt get a new sim and am on stock apn settings with no issues. I asked about a new sim and they had no idea what i was talking about.

It depends when you last had to get a new SIM. The SIMs for LTE are different than UMTS. The PTA APN works just fine on all networks (E, 3G, H+ and LTE).

Just got off the phone and was told that I can't change my 3G Unlimited plan to a 4G one without them sending me a 4G Sim and then activating it and that they don't have a 4G microsim. Maybe I can do this to switch the plan and then ask for them to send me another microsim.

wont work. there is a micro SIM for LTE (you can probably guess how I know that) but I am guessing the adapter will not pass LTE but since the iphone is not LTE that may not matter.
BTW, you will not loos your unlimited data. They just add it to a unlimited LTE data plan. You can confirm this after the change on myatt.

Sorry, I guess I'm being a little slow tonight, but I don't quite understand what you are saying. Let me rephrase my question.
When using the "phone" apn, MMS does not work for me. I would like to be able to use the "phone" apn to get HSPA+ speeds and have MMS working. Currently I am having to use the "wap.cingular" apn so that my MMS will work.
I am currently using a 1 year old microsim that came in the iPhone 4. I have the unlimited data for iPhone.
What data plan should I be on so that I can use the "phone" apn with working MMS?
Also, can this data plan work with a microsim so that I can have HSPA+ speeds when using my Galaxy but also have the ability to use the iPhone 4 on some days?

The reason the default settings don't work is because you NEED to have a LTE data plan on your account. Trust me I know what I am talking about ;-). Once you have that provisioned on your account the default APN settings will work just fine.

For phone APN, set it to Internet only.
Then, set up another APN with the wap.cingular APN and set that to MMS only

MicroSIM is only for iPhone 4/4s. Every other device uses a regular sized SIM. You'd have to keep going back and getting a new SIM everytime you'd like to use each phone.
I work for AT&T, I do it all the time, haha.

Couldn't you just trim a LTE sim card to the micro-sim size? xD

[Q] help!! My HTC Sensation stopped picking up T-Mobile after I used it overseas :(

I unlocked my HTC Sensation and used it in the US for over a month after unlocking it. I traveled overseas and used it there but when I came back it wouldn't pick up T-Mobile network and won't see ATT neither. I tried factory reset and still didn't work. Is there anyone out there who can suggest something? anything?
Thank you all

I would call 611 and ask for support and tell them whats going on. maybe they will give you a code to get u.s signals back..... you can also check your apn.

Have you checked your APN? Try resetting it. You can do that through settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names, press menu> Reset to Default.
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!

Thanks to all.
I can't dial 611 because the phone doesn't pick up the network at all. And I tried to reset the network setting and still no luck.
does changing the Rom solve such an issue?

Anyone who reads this make sure this is the only APN on your list.

Is this for t-mo or at&t SIM card? Any difference from the old apn as far as data speed.

This is the new APN for at&t HTC one x using straight talk. I just talked to straight talk earlier.

So which one is correct? I see the same one on the actual phone programming guide on their site.

AT&T versus T-Mobile corresponds to which SIM you picked when you purchased the service. If you selected the AT&T SIM, then use the AT&T APN, etc.

Sure that's great, but my question is which of the TWO AT&T APN posted in this thread are correct, OP or post #3?

I am getting throttled so bad
I just tried GA Buzz APN setting for ATT. It didn't work. I am sick of my data being so slow with the current one i have. HTC One X

If you ask a question, it helps to speak in specifics. The guy who responded after you has the same problem, can't tell what APN he is talking about.
I personally would try the APN that came from the source (Straight Talk) first. But really, in the time you asked the question and waited for responses, you could have easily tried both (and then some) and see if they worked.

Sorry for being vague. I'm at work and trying to type fast. My problem is I get throttled often. My download speed is seriously 200k/ sec. I'm trying to find a better APN that maybe will help my situation. I have had this SIM card from ST for atleast a year. It is in my HTC One X. I cut the card down to fit. And don't get me wrong, sometimes i have decent speed. But it's never true 4g speed

Just visit your ATT store or call them. I was stuck with H for a day until they had to create a service request for a higher tech person to fix it.

Make sure they prevision your plan to "4G LTE". It can be taken care of over the phone.

I have the same issue, however I'm on a dealer line so I can't have customer service change it, I have to have my rep do it and he is having trouble figuring it out, and so my at&t rep says that he thinks its because I didn't have an LTE phone prior to this (nexus 4) so he is gonna try to change my imei to his G2 he doesn't use

Ah ok then make sure they provision your imei to work! Make sure to talk to a tier 2 representative if the first person doesn't do it or something

I remember reading in another thread that the IMEIs on the n5 don't register as an lte capable phone in AT&Ts system. You may need to obtain one from a phone that is confirmed to work on their LTE, or have CS generate one for you by telling them you can't find yours. Wish I could find the thread, but they get buried so fast around here.
Keep in mind that this info was from a few days ago so it could just be that AT&T wasn't prepared for the launch...they may have already fixed the problem.
Sent from my Evo LTE

If you put in a sim card from a HSPA only phone before switching to LTE or a new sim then you may need to do a factory reset. That was the only solution that worked to get me on LTE as I was also stuck on HSPA. Could be worth a shot if you don't figure it out.

Yeah just had to call at&t to have them re-switch on my LTE. When I was using an old iPhone 3gs they "turn it off". Thanks for all the support!

APN Settings for Nexus 5 On Straight Talk Using AT&T SIM

Auto Refill Confirmation, MMS receive works!
Good day
I authorized a NEXUS 5 Sunday, ATT Micro Sim from Straight Talk
I used the APN settings from the website, last Sunday without any luck receiving MMS messages
I tried every setting on XDA I could find without any receive MMS success
Last night I received a confirmation from Straight Talk thanking me for my Auto Refill Signup
MMS receive started working right after that, go figure.
I am on the Straight Talk APN Settings, nothing different.:good:
